Sen 2001 års terrorattacker i USA har regleringsåtgärder med syfte att förebygga nya attacker ökat nämnvärt, i vissa fall med direkta och ingripande konsekvenser för enskilda individer. Vidare har påtvingande av sådana åtgärder karakteriserats av sekretess, ibland i den omfattningen att ingen information angående grunderna har kommunicerats till berörda personer. Detta har lett till en utveckling Since the terror attacks in USA in 2001, legal measures with the aim of preventing new attacks have multiplied, many with direct and harsh effects on individuals.

I redogörelser över effektiva åtgärder i arbetet att begränsa ungdomars användande av alkohol och droger hänvisas till forskning som pekar på familjen som den enskilt viktigaste faktorn.
